      <image:title>Home - Midwifery Care</image:title>
      <image:caption>Prenatal Care: Appointments are scheduled in your home to allow time for questions and relationship building. Labor and Birth Support: No time limit on hours spent with you in labor. Back up is ensured for your birth from 37-42 weeks. Postpartum Care: 2 hour immediate care, followed by home visits to assure that everything is progressing normally, provide support for breastfeeding, and emotional support.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Home - Belly Casting</image:title>
      <image:caption>Belly casting is a special way to capture the memory of your beautiful, growing shape and turn it into art to admire in years to come. In the final weeks of your pregnancy, using plaster cast, we are able to create a three dimensional sculpture of your pregnant form. This preserves the memory of the many months mom and baby spent growing and bonding. We are happy to create this unique keepsake for your family.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Home - Placental Encapsulation</image:title>
      <image:caption>The placenta is rich in hormones, protein, vitamins, and hemoglobin (which is an iron rich protein) which are beneficial to mom after labor and delivery. I offer placenta encapsulation by either the Traditional Chinese Medicine method or the Raw method, meaning that it is dried without steaming to avoid damaging the hormones. I include a tincture and placenta print if desired at no extra charge.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Midwifery Care - Postpartum Care</image:title>
      <image:caption>After the initial two hours of immediate care, I provide several home visits to monitor mom and baby’s progress, offer breastfeeding assistance, and provide emotional support. The first visit occurs about 24 hours after birth to perform the state required metabolic screening and complete the birth certificate. A follow up visit is scheduled at 2 weeks, and the final visit at 6 weeks includes the option for a PAP screen if needed. If any additional concerns arise, I offer extra visits at no additional cost to ensure you and your baby receive the care you need.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Midwifery Care - Labor &amp; Birth Support</image:title>
      <image:caption>I reserve or secure backup for your birth between 37 and 42 weeks, ensuring continuous support no matter how long labor takes. Some moms appreciate guidance from the earliest stages of labor, while others prefer more privacy until later. I provide both emotional and physical support, monitor the wellbeing of mom and baby, and manage any emergencies that may arise. After birth, I typically remain for about two hours to support your transition and ensure both mom and baby are doing well.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Midwifery Care - In Home Prenatal Care</image:title>
      <image:caption>Enjoy the comfort and convenience of prenatal care in your own home. Appointments last 30 minutes to an hour, offering time for questions, relationship building, and personalized care. Each visit includes listening to your baby’s heartbeat, checking vitals and urine, measuring your uterus for growth, discussing nutrition, and addressing your needs. Prenatal lab work is ordered during your first visit, with blood work completed at a lab. Your medical records are securely stored online, ensuring 24/7 access, smooth communication, and easy transfer if needed. Care is designed to be accessible, supportive, and tailored to you.</image:caption>
